Make Creamy Beef Soup







Leftover beef becomes a hearty soup.


Not only are soups wonderful on cold days, they are a great way to save money by using the bits and pieces left from other culinary creations.This hearty beef soup was invented for just such an occasion. Thick and rich, loaded with tender chunks of meat and vegetables, it is a meal in itself. So whether you're looking for a use for leftovers or you just love the flavor of meat and potatoes, Creamy Beef Soup is the perfect choice.


Instructions


1. Combine the 1 1/2 quarts beef broth, 1 to 2 cups meat, 3 to 4 potatoes, chopped, and 1 diced onion in a large soup pot or 5 quart slow cooker.








2. Simmer together for 20 minutes or until the onion is tender and translucent. The soup will still be quite thin at this point.


3. Add 1 quart green beans and stir gently to avoid breaking the bean into small bits.


4. Mix 1 can of evaporated milk and 1 cup of sour cream together until smooth. Pour this into the soup mixture, stirring as you do so to help prevent lumps. Bring the soup back to a simmer, but avoid boiling.


5. Mix 1/2 cup cold water and 1/4 cup cornstarch until well blended. Stir this mixture into the soup. Add 1/4 tsp. of black pepper and 1 tsp. garlic salt, and mix well.


6. Let your soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Correct the seasoning and serve.
